In a bad-vibes moment, they're denying a huge outlet like IGN a review code. No matter what I think of IGN in particular (nothing good tbh), that's not something I can find a real explanation for other than "We made DC's Gollum and want to avoid bad press as long as we can".

That's just an excuse. WB choose when to activate the servers. They could have easily put them online for reviewers.

So they could be in a game world with like 50 other people?

*turns out it's just a 1 to 4 person game.

Reviewers getting copies a week before launch are generally netting like 40-50 hours of game time in a short timeframe. Combine that with the fact that it’d be more like hundreds of reviewers and you might actually have a decently active community.

Unless they’re having trouble getting them working, which isn’t encouraging for launch.

They at least have some working, they flew a bunch of streamers to LA for an event and had them stream the game a few weeks back.

Looked like a crackdown-ish game with DC character running around. Think like the Spider-Man games of the last few years but without the beloved characters
